See also: Evelyn Denison (1800-1873; See also: speaker of the See also: House of See also: Commons 1857-1872; Viscount Ossington), was See also: horn at Ossington, Notts, on the 11th of See also: December 1805, and educated at See also: Eton and Christ Church, See also: Oxford
.
In 1828 he was elected See also: fellow of Oriel; and after a few years there as a tutor, during which he was ordained and acted as curate at Cuddesdon, he became rector of Broadwindsor, Dorset (1838)
.
He became a prebendary of Sarum in 1841 and of See also: Wells in 1849
.
In 1851 he was preferred to the valuable living of See also: East Brent, See also: Somerset, and in the same See also: year was made archdeacon of Taunton
.
For many years Archdeacon Denison represented the extreme High Tory party not only in politics but in the Church, regarding all " progressive " movements in See also: education or See also: theology as abomination, and vehemently repudiating the " higher See also: criticism " from the days of Essays and Reviews (186o) to those of Lux Mundi (189o)
.
In 1853 he resigned his position as examining See also: chaplain to the See also: bishop of See also: Bath and Wells owing to his pronounced eucharistic views
.
A suit on the complaint of a neighbouring clergyman ensued and after various complications Denison was condemned by the archbishops' See also: court at Bath (1856); but onappeal the court of See also: Arches and the privy council quashed this See also: judgment on a technical plea
.
The result was to make Denison a keen champion of the ritualistic school
.
He edited The Church and See also: State Review (1862-1865)
.
Secular state education and the " See also: conscience clause " were anathema to him
.
Until the end of his See also: life he remained a protagonist in theological controversy and a keen fighter against latitudinarianism and liberalism; but the sharpest religious or See also: political differences never broke his See also: personal friendships and his Christian charity
.
Among other things for which he will be remembered was his origination of harvest festivals
.
He died on the 21st of See also: March 1896
